Left in Alabama: Ron Sparks made a major campaign address today in Montgomery and announced major themes of his campaign for governor. The press release went out yesterday afternoon, which was kind of short notice, but perhaps he's trying to capitalize on Sue Bell Cobb's announcement that she won't run.

In Dothan, they discussed a variety of issues, including state constitutional reform. Davis supports a constitutional convention to reform the Alabama Constitution with delegates to the convention elected by 2012. “We need a document for who we are today and not who we were in 1901,” Davis said. Sparks urges caution, however, saying constitutional reform should be handled in smaller chunks. “When you understand how Montgomery works, you have to be careful about opening up the whole constitution to Montgomery, Alabama,” Sparks said.
